Praise for Reality Check

A personal and thoughtful reflection on how to see more clearly in order to contribute more effectively to the world around us.

If you've ever wondered how you could actually perform a reality check, read Carlo's book. He reverse-engineered what it takes to "clearly read the now" by asking the right questions ... and not necessarily even trying to find an answer. Carlo unapologetically presents his themes from within a personal frame but takes great care to offer his insights as suggestions instead of anything like 'the truth.'

I enjoyed the stories in Reality Check. Carlo’s authenticity and integrity shine through with each lesson and takeaway. Furthermore, the breadth of interviews and concepts inspired me to better understand myself and the world around me.

I loved Reality Check's structure with main topics broken down by Carlo's research into personal stories and takeaways. Carlo addresses big topics in a very accessible way without making it stereotypical.

A fantastic book! I love how Carlo drew upon his many experiences and personas to describe such a vast and abstract concept and relate it metaphorically to rehearsing and being on the stage. I am excited to explore the platform mentioned, engage with the community of readers, and compare notes!

Reality Check is a book I wish I had 15 years ago. It’s packed with examples and insights on how to get your questions right in order to improve and change. Carlo is a child of change, and this gem of a book will help you realize to not look for answers when asking questions. It sounds backwards, but it’s true. Read it and find out!
